VACUUM LIFT SYSTEMS
|
VB
VACUUM LIFTING SYSTEMS (For heavy, porous loads) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
VB and VM Systems is hoist-based, fully integrated,
non-weight sensitive vacuum lift systems. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
VB
and VM lifters are designed for use where headroom or
load size would not allow the use of a VT tube lifting
system,
or for lifting unusually heavy, bulky or compact loads. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vacuum for Attachment - Hoist for Lifting |
|
|
|
With
a VB or VM system, a high power electric pump
or a compressed air venturi produces the vacuum for
attachment; an electric chain hoist provides the lift. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ergonomic
Handling |
|
|
|
Oftentimes
a VB or VM lifter can be the answer to an
unusual or confined space, low headroom material handling
problem or for repetitive handling of small, lightweight
or
oddly shaped items. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lifters
for all load types |
|
|
|
We
offer two styles of hoist-based vacuum lifting systems: |
|
|
|
VB
systems, for handling porous loads, such as bags
and boxes. |
|
|
|
VM
systems, for handling small, compact, non-porous
to semi-porous loads. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compact,
Easy to Control |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These
compact systems are quick and easy to control
by a single operator. A rugged chain hoist is used for
secure and precise up-and-down movement. The
integrated hoist features a built-in automatic overload
sensor to stop the lift if the system is overloaded. A
slip-clutch in the first stage hoist gear prevents hoist
overload. |
|
|
Rated
load capacities for standard models range
up to 1,100 pounds (500 kg). Hoists with higher
rated load capacities are available if the user
wishes to have the capability of operating the
hoist alone for lifting heavier loads, independent
of the vacuum attachment system. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hoist-based
systems are most useful at low to
moderate production rates. When high production
rate lifting is required, a continuous duty cycle
tube lift system should be used. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suitable
for Confined Spaces |
|
|
|
|
Their
compact design and low headroom allow
their use in very tight workspaces such as under
mezzanine floors. Various types of vacuum pad
attachments with quick release couplings are
available to easily customize these lifting systems. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We
also manufacture systems using oil-free air
hoists and balancers for special applications.

Wide
Range of Lifting Capability |
|
|
|
|
|
VB
and VM systems use vacuum to secure and
hold the load only, not for lifting; the hoist provides
the lift. |

VB
VACUUM LIFTING SYSTEMS
(FOR HEAVY, POROUS LOADS)
|
|
|
|
The
VB Vacuum Lifting Systems are fully integrated material
handling systems designed for fast, safe, one person
handling of bags, boxes and other porous-type loads. A
large, ultra high vacuum, direct-drive vacuum pump provides
the suction necessary for load attachment and holding;
a rugged, electric chain hoist or an air balancer is used
for load
lifting. The VB Vacuum-Hoist Lifting System is a fully
integrated lifting system for safe, controlled handling
of
heavy, porous loads with lifting capacities of up to 1100
lb (500 kg). |
|
|
|
|
|
Easy-to-use, ergonomically designed, fully
integrated controls operate all system
components.
Up and down hoist movement is controlled
by two
push buttons for added safety. |
|
|
|
Vacuum attachment of the load is continuous for
maximum productivity. Electric hoists
are suitable
for one or two lifts per minute. (For
higher
production rates, a VT Vacuum Tube
Lift
System should be considered). |
|
|
|
The vacuum system is used only to attach to and
hold the load; the electric hoist or
air balancer
provides the lift. VB Vacuum-Hoist
Lifting
Systems are ideally suited for heavy
or complex
loads requiring sophisticated vacuum
head
attachments; for use with large crane
systems;
or for use under low-headroom mezzanines.
|
|
|
|
VB Vacuum-Hoist
Lifting Systems with com-
pressed air powered hoists / air balancers
with
higher duty cycles, or for use in explosive
environments, are also available. Contact
us
for special applications. |
